Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into mini burger patties, about 1/4 pound each.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of your chosen cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the mini burger buns on the grill or skillet. Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and your choice of ketchup and mustard.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your mini burgers!
